You Should Have Known (2023)
Rebecca A Keller
"Who cares about the gentle death of an elderly woman in a retirement community? You will--desperately--as you dive into the marvelous mystery at the heart of You Should Have Known. This book kept me up past my bedtime, frantically turning pages, shocked and delighted by each new twist."

A History of Wild Places (2021)
Shea Ernshaw
"A History of Wild Places is as eerie and enticing as a gingerbread house in a dark forest. My advice? Gobble up the whole thing. This book will enchant you with its delicious, dangerous magic."

Thieves, Beasts & Men (2021)
Shan Leah
"I devoured this book in one sitting. I can't remember the last time a novel grabbed me by the throat with such ferocity and refused to let go until the final page. Thieves, Beasts & Men is a heart-pounding, utterly unique page-turner, as immersive as a dream and as indelible as a tattoo."
